Published By Request ( New York Correspondence Philadel phia Press. Judge Lacombe, of tke United States Circuit Court must read with peculiar personal Interest the vari ous reports telling of the conflict of Jurisdiction or th law or whatever It may be. Involving the declaration lot tne Governor of North Carolina, that the sovereignty of the State, and, therefore. State rights are at issue. Upon the bench of the United States courts In or near New " Yorki no Judge, unless exception be made of Judge Gray, has a clearer under standing of. the relation of the States and their sovereignties to the Federal government than Judge Lacombe. His understanding is clearly reflect ed In various opinions and In sev eral addresses. He Is proud to call himself a -States' , right v- Democrat, recognixlng that the very use of the term itself estate rights'? involved by implication the understanding ' that there .are other, rights than those of the States and that these rights are comprehended In and sufficiently set forth Jby the constitution of the United State. " . It Is also a fact that some at least of the counsel who are In profession al relation to the Southern Railroad are now and always have been State rights Democrats and tb probabllljy is that a majority, if not; all, of the executives of the Southern Railroad are also of the political associations. far-reaching Issue: - The Impression which has gone forth undoubtedly explains the mis conceptions that prevail ' elsewhere than In North Carolina respecting the nature of thlg. disagreement and the various proceedings that have been taken by. the State and by the Fed eral Courts,', Judge Lacombe how ever, can have no misunderstanding. If the executives of the State of North Carolina are right V In; their vlewa then there Is an implying Criti cism of Judge Lacombe, a . State rights . Democrat of the; strictest school,' for action which he . took In this State-ome months ago. In es sential ; features the' equity ' proceed ings in New. York State tinder ;Judge Lacombe and those In North Caro lina under Judge Prltchard are iden tical. ' strangely enough no citizen of New York has raised any protest or appears to be In fear that any Im pairment of the sovereignty of the State was contemplated or effected by the action taken by Judge La combe. The4 Governor of the State did not protest nor did- there come from the Legislature or. from, any tribunal any. criticism- but on the ccontrary, approval. THE PRICE OF GAS. The Legislature of this State, act ing "chiefly upon information brought out by . Charles E, Hughes, now Gov ernor when he was counsel for the legislative committee, charged with an inquisition into the so-called gas trust of New York, commanded the gas companies to charge -no more than eighty cents a thousand feet. Immediately the gas .company pro tested that this charge was. tto great, ly lnaufficlent -as not wnly toSmake It impossible for the company to gain a reasonable ..profit; but also tB cause It considerable loss and for that reas on: the company waa to be deprived of ItK property unjustly, and ao de. prived that partial -confiscation would take place. Affidavits were prepared as the ba sis of an ex parte appeal to Judge Lacombe, of the United States court, asking for an Injunction to restrain the State or the community, from exercising a rate, of eighty cents el thousand feet until there " could be determination legally whether or not thla charge was unjust and so unjust as to be in violation of a provision of the constitution-of the United Sfktes. Judge Lacombe." did grant the . , tern, porary Injunction and appointed a master to take testlrabpy upon which he could act. Meanwhile, by rather awkward and arbitrary arrangement consumers of grU wre t9v pay a dol lar a thousand feet and out of this sum; twenty centa for each thousand reet was to be paid, into court by the gas company and there held until there was ultimate adjudication by the 8ujreme Court of the United States, if theSupreme COurt should rind no constitutional violation then the money paid Into the court Is to be returned to the various consum srs, each receiving his proportionate part. If the Supreme" Court should find that there, was a, violation of the constitution then. the,. gds company would receive the money In the cus tody of the court. ' The master, after diligent investi gation, made his report eupplcment Ing It by as bulky a mass of docu mentary evidence and stenographic reported testimony as has ever ac- jcompanled the, repoprt of a master in mis city, ue rouna tnai me wtaie law was in violation cf the Federal constitution. Thereupon Judge La combe made permanent the Injunc tion with tho expectation that appeal i would b made,- as It is to be made, to the Supreme Court of the United states. THE SAME ISSUE. The Issue nere presented is pre cisely that raised in North Carolina. The State of New York, through its Executive, and the City of New York, In Its administration, not only did not protect that the Sovereignty of the state was Invaded by the Judi cial action of Judge Lacombe, but in stead welcomed euch proceedings In equity as would speedily enable tho Supreme Court of the -Unlted States to give final opinion. It was not a question of state rights, but was In stead a question of whether the State of New York has or had not by leg Islatlve action Impaired a clause of the constitution of the United States. Throughout the country, apparent ly, and especially In the South, there ere Intimations that the Governor of North Carolina has worthily defend ed the eoverelgntv of the State and the principle of State right from the aggressive disposition of -the Federal Courts. It will probably be difllcult to correct that Impression until af ter the Supreme Court has passed ujfW the matter' disputed. But the Vhole controversy- and the ultimate adjudication of the Supreme Court may do more to emphaslxe and deter mine the authority of the Federal government with respect to Inter State commerce than any - other ac tion yet committed or contemplated. In June last, Judge Prltchard, of the Federal Court,- received a. petition In equity representing that by reas on of certain legislation perfected by the State of North Carolina action was about to be taken which would Impair the reasonable earnings of the Southern Railroad and in effec( result in , partial confiscation of ; its property.! The petition wa support ed by ex parte affidavits. Thereupon f Judge -FTltehard.-'not going- -Intn-the merits of the case, not determining : t t i i i i f i i tif-i r- la c niKx;on of J.ort lii-hing the nev.- d t t!. 1 1 (-': i C r ' t r i ru scnJ.vL I order to ascertain tho facts Juc!.: Prltchard arpointed a master to take testimony, exactly as Judse Lacombe had done In this city. Moreover, evidently - taking heed of the action in Judge Lacombe's court. It was provided that if 'upon final determination by Jhe Supreme Court of the United States it were decided that there was no impairment of the Federal constitution, then the pas senger rate should be maintained. Whereas, on the other hand. If the Supreme Court should austaln the Southern Railroad'a view, then the old passenger rate would remain. Meanwhile, every passenger was to be entitled to a Coupon representing the difference between the rate es tablished by the Southern Railroad and that fixed by the State; as, for instance, if under the old rate a, pas senger ahould . pay ten dollars and under the-rate fixed , by the State should be required to pay no more than seven . dollars for - Hcket ; he would be able to cash in. the coupon given to xhlm when he paid the ten dollars, i Exactly that is to be done with respect to "the gas litigation and was satisfactorily done a year or two ago when a controversy arose as to the fare between Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island. - The State of North Carolina claims that this action of Judge Prltchard infringes upon-the sovereignty of the State and if North Carolina. Is right in that claim then' the . 'action ot Jadge Lacombe in this city was a violent Judicial attack, upon the sov ereignty of New . York. Ultimately the Supreme' Court of v the . United States, having before it the master's report and -all other facts, will de cide whether In New York the gas legislation was -or was not an im pairment of the Federal constitution and in Nerth Cadolina whether the legislation with respect to . railroad rates is or is not an Impairment-of the Federal constitution. That Is the vital question at Issue. - By the con stitution of the United States the Su preme Court is the tribunal and there can be no other. It la not a question of the rights of the State of North Carolina but of the rights of citizens of the United States under the con stitution. '' THREE OTHER ISSUES. - There are, It Is true, three other Issues closely related to this, but not of the vital Importance "of It, A Judge of one of the. State courts of North Carolina has- Judicially de clared the Southern Railroad to have been- guilty of a misdemeanor In re fusing to -obey a State law 'and "has fined that railroad 130,000, He does not find his authority In any State statute for there 1 none. He sim ply bases It upon the common law. Then, again, there are the criminal proceedings against the unfortunate ticket agents sentenced to tine and degrading punishment In whose Ja vor the" writs of habeas corpus were issued by Judge Prltchard. These w must he. determined.

Then there Is the grocery account, if not the greatest burden, at least the greatest barrier to the accumu lation of wealth Here, then ; is the place to save, to economise, ;.to corner that little 'hoard m the old sock that wlll-ibuy the vacant,, lot or the stock of goods that will start us on the road to wealth.
